That's the fucking point! It's throwing giant balls of fire at everything including allies because friendly fire is a thing in this game!
Also they might just go mad for being born and/or end up possessed! That's a pretty big downside if you ask me!
That said giving mages the ability to wear full plate, use a sword and board, still cast fireball, and debuff enemies with the spirit warrior sub class was up there with kensei-mage dual classes from Baldur's Gate 2 being utterly broken and unkillable. You'd think they learn these things given the company hadn't turned to shit yet.
"But the mage class is OP..."
